Last year, I missed the Martha’s Vineyard Sound – Indie Music Festival, but am determined to not make the same mistake again. So, I thought it would be a good idea to meet with the music festival’s producer, Phil DaRosa to find out more about this event that’s full of local and national musical guests. The Scottish Bakehouse was th...

No matter what the season, I love Italian food. And, I love that you can get really good Italian food in Vineyard Haven at La Soffitta. La Soffitta, which means “the attic,” can be found in the space that used to be home to Le Grenier. Though both names mean the attic, the restaurants could not be more different. As you walk ...

Since they were kids, good friends Alex Nagi (chef/partner – Copper Wok and Martha’s Vineyard Chowder Company) and Chris Zakak wanted to find a business to do together. Two years ago, they decided to embark on it — and within that time, they came up with it. What is it you might wonder? Well, it is it Organic, c...

Chances are if you’ve been to Oak Bluffs Harbor recently, you’ve noticed a pirate ship. Your eyes are not deceiving you.

Since 1984, Fella, and with the help of his wife, Jane, have been serving up good food on Martha’s Vineyard. Many of you may be familiar with the Up-Island Fella’s, next to Cronig’s, but have you been to Fella’s on Union in Vineyard Haven. Open now for about two weeks, Fella’s on Union is a delicious addition to downtown. Loca...

Winter Street is one street over from Main in Edgartown. There, you’ll find a number of wonderful boutiques from clothing to coffee to spa services to dining and more. So much has changed on this street over the past five years, and the street is becoming quite the destination. Winter Street is becoming the “Left Bank” of Edgartow...

Meet the Martino brothers, Dan and Greg, who have ventured into the farming industry on Martha’s Vineyard — oyster farming that is. No small feat, it took these two a long time to make this dream a reality, and they still have to wait until Fall of 2016 to harvest their oysters. Why get into oyster farming? It is hard work and work...

The Harbor View is at it again, and we are indeed the lucky ones. You might have heard that there is a new Executive Chef there, Caleb Lara, and with this new addition comes a whole new restaurant name and menu. Water Street is no more. Welcome Lighthouse Grill, named in honor of the amazing view the restaurant has of the Edgartow...

The wait is almost over my friends! This week, The Barn, the Island’s first bowling alley (public) in years, opens its doors. On Sunday, we were able to get a sneak peek at this new, highly — and I mean highly — anticipated addition to Martha’s Vineyard. And………we were not disappointed. We went bowling! It was crazy and so fun and ...

When chef/owner Jean Dupon closed the doors after 37 years of serving memorable French inspired cuisine to Islanders and visitors last Fall, people were sad and disappointed, another downtown Vineyard Haven restaurant closing its doors. But hope was on the horizon. Island restauranteurs Susan and Stephen Bowen were intere...
